[edit] History

An original construction permit was granted on November 18, 1985 to Group Seven Communications of New York, New York. The initial callsign was designated as K36AX, to operate on channel 36. The station was to serve the Kingman area, although its city of license was to be Hilltop, and the transmitter was located on a bluff overlooking downtown Kingman. The station was licensed on August 25, 1987. Initial programming is unknown, but Group Seven Communications was recognized for its marketing emphasis toward the Hispanic community.

In September 2000, Group Seven Communications sold K36AX to Tri-State Broadcasting. In April 2002, the station moved to a new transmitter location on Hualapai Peak, increasing its signal coverage. And in the July 2002, the station unveiled new call letters, KKAX-LP, based on the old callsign — K K36AX.

On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KKAX-LP will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
